Can You Decode The Cipher?

So The Glenlivet announced there newest scotch several months back.  It’s called Cipher and it’s similar to The Glenlivet Alpha they released in 2013.

Alpha proved to be very popular.  There were no aging notes, no tasting notes, there was nothing at all.  So it’s been a few years and The Glenlivet has done it again.  The announced Cipher back in June as a limited edition bottle.  Not sure about Canada or the US as we can’t find numbers but apparently the UK was only getting 1200 bottles.  In Quebec the SAQ only had 250 bottles available.

The most interesting part is the social aspect that The Glenlivet is trying to cultivate with this bottle.  The created a website for Cipher and the Master Distiller for The Glenlivet, Alan Winchester, wants people to try to decode the tasting notes.  There is apparently around 10,000 different flavour combinations.  Eventually the notes will be released through The Glenlivet Guardians

So The Whiskey Taster’s got a bottle and we’re going to be trying it shortly.  We’ll give a full follow up on what we thought of the Glenlivet Cipher but we will not discuss our own tasting notes.  We want people to get out there and try to decode it for themselves
